Neil must have a new Porsche by now. I don't think it matters how much you spend on your hobby, you buy what you can afford. My kids and brother all mock me saying i'm a geek but i'm the one smiling inside. I try and also keep the boss informed of what i've bought even though it bring's a tear to her eyes. I keep saying its for the future and the amount i've spent this year would probably be equal to or, more than likely more than i'd put into a pension fund, my son is also disabled so i'm seeing myself spending more on coins than i'm saving in the Bank. As Long as we're still eating and the Bills are paid then whats left over will be put to good use, hence the reason i STILL ask certain peoples opinion on specific coins that interest me. My records now consist of my scribblings on the Bill that comes with each coin purchase, maybe not the way to go but i find endless columns of book numbers etc pretty tedious right now.

Most likely not lost by a Roman. The Romans were known to have paid coin and given gifts to leaders across the border to form a pseudo-alliance or to make peace.
